Internationally-acclaimed Vancouver clarinetist performs the music of Pierre Boulez, Paul Dolden, Giorgio Magnanensi, and John Oliver. Houle has taken the idea of Boulez’ “shadow dialogue” as inspiration for a program of works where the sound of his clarinet becomes the core of rich sound textures.

“…clarinet guru Houle becomes an entire new music ensemble on this solo CD…his dizzying techniques are wildly successful.”
